Watershed Technologies Announces GraphRight for NeXTSTEP

Marlboro, MA - April 6, 1993 - Watershed Technologies, Inc. today announced
the release of GraphRight, the Presentation Graphing Application for business
and financial use.

GraphRight features a wide selection of business and financial graph types
including a full featured drawing package. GraphRight was designed and written
exclusively for all platforms running NeXTSTEP.

GraphRight features include:

- 18 graph types - Unlimited undo - Full drawing environment - Basic word
processor, including spell checker - Drag and drop images, rich text, and
color - Object linking - File and folder linking - Simple, easy to use table-
based data editor - The ability to import ASCII data

The drag and drop feature allows any file in the Workspace to be dragged onto
a graph page. Files such as TIFF, EPS, and RTF can be directly imported in
this manner. This allows for an image to be placed behind a graph producing a
stunning and effective result for any presentation.  "Just about anything can
be dragged and dropped into GraphRight", says Dirk P. Fromhein, President of
Watershed Technologies, Inc.

Object Linking allows a graph created in GraphRight to be linked into any word
processor or presentation package that supports NeXT's Link Manager.  This
feature eliminates the need to repeatedly copy and paste a graph as it is
changed. Once a graph is linked into another application, all future changes
to the graph in GraphRight are updated throughout all the links.  Linking into
GraphRight is also possible.

GraphRight includes a full featured drawing environment, and a basic word
processor that supports NeXTSTEP's spell checker. As a result, graphs can be
annotated in a very integrated manner. "We are seeing in NeXTSTEP, the chance
to push presentation graphics to a much higher level than on any other
platform", says Dirk Fromhein.

Watershed Technologies is working to incorporate:

- Real time data entry via distributed objects - Importation of data from
other platforms and applications - A wider variety of drawing tools - Any
further requested graph types


Fromhein points out, "Watershed technologies is customer driven, and we are
eager to provide all the features our customers want."

Watershed Technologies also offers unlimited e-mail support and limited phone
support for the product. "GraphRight provides an intuitive interface and we do
not expect users to ever have to open the manual let alone call for support",
says Stephen Selby, Technical Writer.
